Why does the energy in minnows not get passed on to the pike that eat them?
If I'm right, the phrasing in the question is slightly misleading, so I can only assume that your intent is to ask why not all the energy in minnows gets passed onto the pike that eat them. If this is the case (edit this and remove if wrong), the answer you is looking for is:Not all of the energy is passed on from the minnows to the pike that eat them as the minnows have to use most of their energy, around 90-95%, just living and finding food. This is the same further the down in the food chain. So this way, the trout eating the minnows do not get all the energy.
